有一个地方叫净土; Ladies and gentlemen. As we gather here today, discussing mans relationship with nature, let me tell you a fable my roommate wrote for the wall newspaper in our class. There is a place named Pureland. Among its inhabitants is a species called Men. They out-mind the smartest apes and out-strength the bravest lions. But due to greed and shortsightedness, men make inroads into the other species, squander their shared resources, and pollute their common surroundings. ;;; First of all, we must realize that man and nature are interactive. To begin with, we derive everything from nature. Thats why going natural, or as we Chinese in the habit of saying, returning to the root, is the order of the day. Among other things, Im sure youve all tasted natural produce that is otherwise known as green food. And you must have noticed that nearly all beautifying products boast of being natural creams, natural lotions or natural gels. For man, nature has an irresistible appeal.;;;; However, it is not enough only to ask what governments can do to achieve the harmony between man and nature. We must ask ourselves what we as individuals can do.Can we all be economical with food, water, electricity or other resources? Our brothers and sisters in other parts of the world are starving and even fighting with each other over the use of water and the tapping of oil. Can we, or rather, some voracious ones among us, stop making rare plants and animals into palatable dishes? ; For everything in the life circle deserves its place in this world. Can we stop using the unrecyclable style of lunch boxes? If not, one day they may bury us in an ocean of white rubbish. After all, the earth is not a dustbin; its our common home. So lets work in common to make it clean so that the fabled Pureland in its unravished state can refer to our own beloved China, and to the whole world. Thank you.
